Brisbane

As Australia’s third-most populous city, Brisbane is a city on the rise, fuelled by cutting-edge infrastructure, sustainability initiatives, and a collaborative business culture.

With its bold “There’s Nothing Like Australia for Business Events” campaign, the country is making it clear: this is a place where associations shape the future.

As Brisbane gears up for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is also taking a lead role in a sustainable energy transition, a journey that is part of a broader shift towards a decarbonised, electrified future. The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre’s (BCEC) role in this effort is crucial since business events are used as progress accelerators.

The significant milestone of winning the bid to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in July 2021 marks a turning point in Brisbane's journey.
